You make a good point, and I don't argue that. I didn't mean to imply that canola (or any) oil tastes as good as butter. However, I have been to Italian restaurants that serve warm bread with seasoned olive oil for dipping instead of butter. It's pretty good.

My point was only that in a survival situation, oil is easy to store in quantity, nutritous, and serves a similar purpose as butter in cooking. You can substitue oil for butter in almost any survival recipe with acceptable results.

LED, I have no experience with canned butter, so I will buy a can online and give it a try.
